Su Qingyao thought about the meaning of the cup, and immediately came back to her senses, accompanying Emperor Yin De.

Chu Jieyu continued, "The concubine gave the eighth prince Hedinghong. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to look under the pillow in my bedroom to see if there is any unused Hedinghong."

Chu Jieyu's attitude when she said this was neither humble nor arrogant, looking down on life and death.

Su Qingyao frowned and glanced at her. When she did this, had she considered Cheng Yuan?

The people in front of the emperor naturally knew how to do their jobs. Some things were already done without Emperor Yinde's instructions.

"Your Majesty, this is the Hedinghong that my servant found in Young Master Chu's bedroom." Xiao Nanzi held up the small package of Hedinghong and knelt at the feet of the empress.

Seeing the anger on Emperor Yin De's face, it seemed that he would stuff all the red crane crown into Chu Jieyu's mouth in the next second.

Cheng Jue stood aside and said coldly, "Take it down first, don't hit the father and the queen."

After Xiao Nanzi listened to the order, he bowed and retreated. There was another long silence in the hall.

Wu Chongyuan sat below, unable to cry anymore, just looking at the murderer.

Emperor Yinde also closed his eyes helplessly. He lost another son.

"Yao'er, how do you think I should deal with the Chu family?"

Su Qingyao took Emperor Yin De's hand and seemed to be comforting him.

"The Chu family's murder of the emperor's heir is a capital crime. Your Majesty, in consideration of the many years of service to the Chu family, please leave her intact body."

After a long time, Emperor Yinde nodded lightly. He knew that the Chu family wanted to avenge his father, but the child was innocent, let alone his own son.

Wu Chongyuan refused, "Queen, the nine clans should be implicated in murdering the prince. There are still people in the Chu clan. What's more, even the sixth prince is involved in this matter."

"I want to see today who dares to bite my son indiscriminately!" Concubine Shu rarely puts on such a big air in front of the emperor and empress.

After Concubine Shu came in, she greeted the emperor and empress, and then asked Wu Chongyuan again, "Wu Chongyuan, I can understand your pain of losing your son, but what does all this have to do with my son?"

Cheng Yuan is now at the knees of Concubine Shu, even on the jade plate, it is written like this. Wu Chongyuan just can't tell her the pain this time.

Chu Jieyu closed her eyes and saw that the Queen and Concubine Shu were protecting Yuan Er like this. She felt relieved and could go on the road without any worries.

"But the Sixth Prince... Your Majesty, Hui'er is your prince!" Wu Chongyuan knew that her son would never come back, and now she wished that everyone would be buried with him.

"Chenghui is a prince, so isn't my son the same?" Concubine Shu asked.

"Yao'er, please send the Chu family on their way first, and then arrange Hui'er's funeral arrangements." Emperor Yinde was so noisy by them that he had a headache, so he got up and returned to the Yangxin Palace. Prince Chengjue was always by his side, but he was obedient. Didn't say a word.

It was getting late, and Su Qingyao came to Leng Palace under the moonlight.

Chu Jieyu was dressed in tattered clothes, sitting at the wooden table, welcoming her death.

When Queen Su Qingyao came to Leng Palace before, she was served by Xiao Xiazi and several young eunuchs. This time, Su Qingyao did not let anyone wait on her. Even the glass of poisonous wine given to the common people of Chu was served by her herself. Come in.

"Bless you, Queen." When the common people of Chu saw Su Qingyao coming in, they knelt down to say hello.

Snapped!

Before Chu Shuren could react, Su Qingyao slapped him.

"The Wu family has collapsed. Chenghui is so young and helpless, what kind of trouble can he cause?"

"When you did this, did you ever think about your son?"

Su Qingyao looked at Chu Ya who was kneeling in front of her with a complicated expression. She should have paid more attention to her when she refused the concubine position, and would not have brought her a glass of poisonous wine now, leading her to a dead end. .

If he insisted on letting Chengyuan be raised under Chu Ya's knees, Chu Ya would never reach this point anyway.

"Empress, I haven't been home for twelve years. When I came home again, I was attending my father's funeral. If it weren't for the Wu family's calculation, how could my father leave me so early? You know how sad I feel right now. Hate?"

"Yes, the Wu family is gone, but why would the Wu family do this? Isn't it for Chenghui?"

"Chenghui is still alive and well, why?"

Chu Ya finally shed tears in front of Su Qingyao, and her tears were full of helplessness and hatred.

Thinking that his father was gone like this and Chenghui was still alive and well, the resentment in his heart could not be eliminated at all.

"I know you feel bad, but Xiaoya, you are innocent and childish. You should not frame the prince so blatantly. Chenghui has left, who can save you?" Su Qingyao said helplessly.

There were not many princes under Emperor Yinde's knees. He had just experienced what happened to Chengxuan a few days ago. He had lost Chengxuan and now he had lost Chenghui. Su Qingyao looked at the anger on Emperor Yinde's face and knew that no one would be able to do it today. I can no longer help Chu Ya plead for mercy in front of Emperor Yin De.

Su Qingyao has been with him for many years and has already known the emperor. He is an emperor. In the eyes of the concubines, he is a ruthless person, but in front of the emperor's heirs, he wants to be a good father.

Therefore, Su Qingyao never took action against the emperor's heirs. Firstly, she felt that they were innocent, and secondly, Emperor Yinde was definitely capable of finding out the truth.

Ever since Prince Chongheng left more than ten years ago, when Su Qingyao saw the drop of tears on the emperor's cheek, Su Qingyao had told herself that no matter what step she would take in the future, she would never do anything to him until it was absolutely necessary. The emperor took action.

So in the past, even though he was so indifferent to Qiao Muyan, he never touched Chengxuan and could only guide him step by step to get him astray.

"I understand these principles, but I really have no way not to do all this." Chu Ya looked at Su Qingyao, "Since the suspension was lifted, I have wanted to take revenge. Dad's departure was actually the trigger for today's situation. , it’s my own fault and has nothing to do with anyone else.”

"I know that my sin is unforgivable. My only request is that the Queen can take care of Yuan Er."

Chu Ya kowtowed to Su Qingyao respectfully. This was her only plea to Su Qingyao as a mother.

Su Qingyao remained silent, picked up the wine glass and handed it to Chu Ya, "Since you can't let him go, you should make up for him and take care of him yourself."

Su Qingyao's eyes stayed on the glass of wine.

Chu Ya raised her eyes and saw a glimmer of hope in Su Qingyao's eyes.
